Established Japanese Maple tree dying?
I have a japanese maple tree that is approximatly 4-5 years old...its planted in my back yard & until this year has been doing well. It shows no signs of pests but is droopy & the bottom branches are dry & dying. Can anyone please give me some advice? I can provide pics if needed....
It is Spring here & we have had a rather mild/warm winter...not sure if this plays into my situation but thought the more details the better...

I have a 6 year old and a 35 year old japanese maple. Both get dried branches occasionally. Their roots like to grow close to the surface of the soil. Do not suffocate them by putting a lot of mulch around the base. Japanese tree branches hang low to the ground. That is their natural look.

I don't know what area you live in. Did you get frosts or hard freezes this year, after the tree had put out? If so, was it covered or was the tree left uncovered?
